5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book, 9 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Titus Alone (Gormenghast trilogy) (Paperback)
I strongly disagree with the other reviews here that it is the weaker book. It has to be taken in context with what was happening with Peake at this time (he was very ill) and many things which were part of his life come into play in the book such as his experiences on entering Belsen. For me it is my favorite book out of the trilogy because it is more personal.

2.0 out of 5 stars Most disappointing book of the trilogy, 24 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Titus Alone (Gormenghast trilogy) (Paperback)
Having read and enjoyed the two previous parts of the Gormenghast trilogy, I was looking forward to the concluding part. However it didn't meet my expectations, and I found it tedious and a chore to read, although I am glad that I persevered, as the ending is probably the best and most exciting part of the book. Gormenghast itself hardly features in the book, and I was left wondering what became of the characters that I had read about in the first two books.

2.0 out of 5 stars What happened?, 11 Mar 2003
This review is from: Titus Alone (Modern Classics) (Paperback)
Titus Groan, and Gormenghast are possibly two of the best written books I've ever read. Titus Alone is quite a different story. Firstly the tone has changed, Peake's descriptive and often surreal writing style seems to have let him down this time. most of the text seems inane and extremely confusing and I must admit more than once I found my mind wondering from the page in front of me. A very dissapointing end to the trilogy, it would probably be best to miss it out all together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Persevere!
Although I will admit that Titus Alone is the weakest of the Titus trilogy, I cannot describe it as a disappointment, as have previous reviewers. Read more
